Mixed Emotions

Kirk has been working very hard at building a gate to display in our driveway or to sell before he even installs it. He feels that if someone sees it up close that they will have a better idea of his workmanship. We are quite excited to have the word get out about his work so we can start making some money.

Excitement turned to a touch of panic today. We received our first fuel bill. This is all new to us and we know we need to adjust. Kirk went immediately back to chopping wood. Torn between building
gate in hopes of an income or cutting costs by burning wood for heat.

Then we received news that the prospective buyer of our house in NC should be getting an offer on his house today. Should he accept it, means our house should close soon. WE are on pins and needles and PRAYING A LOT!

I'm still looking for a job. In hopes that the new year will be better.
